I have prior experience with taking weeks off to learn skills; this is what I did in order to learn for theoretical drivers test.

That said... I didn't mean to do that in this case, as this is material that needs to be tested on individual basis. Focusing on it for a week hard wouldn't be very effective for determining whether it works or not, it would be better to focus on it in order to firmly engrain it in my thinking once I've managed to get it to work sometimes.

As for the whole point "I don't need to spend cash; I can learn this from home", that's probably flawed; what I'm wondering is whether the difference between learning @ home and learning @ workshop is worth the money.
